Move It Monday
Alright, since I already missed my assigned week to make a post I thought I'll write one today! I did really bad last week, especially over the weekend. The "I'll start on Monday" thought came to my mind like it always does. And then I found this site: Move It Monday http://www.moveitmonday.org/. The site has free workouts and fitness tips but what I really liked was their "Monday Mile" challenge. Every Monday they challenge people to walk, jog or run 1 mile with family and friends. I figured that was something we all can handle, and is a good way to start out the week. There is a link to some apps that help you map out 1 mile in your area. I learned from their page that the CDC recommends 150 minutes of moderate physical activity a week for adults. That breaks down to 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. It takes an adult in average shape about 30 minutes to walk a mile, so if we just do 1 mile on Mondays that takes care of one day! If anything in my life is to become a reality, I have to plan it out. My plan for this week is to work out 30 minutes each day. I will be doing one of my kettle ball videos tonight, walking tomorrow, a work out video Wed and Thursday and walking Friday and Saturday nights at work. Next Monday I'll be starting the Monday miles. I will have to walk it at first I'm sure, but eventually I hope I can at least run 1 mile. We will see how long it takes me :) What's your plan for this week to get in 150 minutes of exercise? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpRadZQic_0#t=23

So this last week has been way busy. Although I didn't do as well as I would like....I thought but the point is to keep trying. So I went for a walk with my client's today and when I got home from work Ruby and Eric and I went. I am hoping this move it monday will be a good start to the week! I plan on doing a workout video tomorrow and another walk on Wednesday and workout video thursday and another walk again at the end of the week.
